Will the MBP run CNC Machines...

If you need to run Autocad, there are numerous solutions on my crossplatform FAQ:

Most any ethernet router will route a Mac that has built-in ethernet, which is all of the new ones, and most any wireless access point supports 802.11b and 802.11g which all the Macs also support. I've not heard of CNC routers, but if they are like other computer routers to route internet connections, they should work fine with the Mac.

A CNC router, is a computer aided cutting tool much like a CNC Lathe, but instead of the cutting tool itself remaining stationary and the item (usually a chunk of wood, Plastic, stone or metal) being rotated at high speed, a router rotates the tool at high speed and is guided around the flat plane of the item to cut grooves into it.

Adobe and Corel make a variety of software. Much is Mac OS X native, some only works in emulation or virtualization described in the beginning of the thread. You may be able to get a crossplatform license from them for specific software titles. Contact them to find out how that might work.

CNC Machinist used to be available for the Mac, but I can only find some reference to it on Google. Maybe if you dig deep enough you'll find it. Regardless here's a strange idea, maybe use Lego Mindstorms which is available for the Mac. I'm sure a creative mind could create the right kind of tool to go with it for CNC users:
